John Sisk win mixed use Lancaster development including Travelodge

John Sisk & Son Ltd (Sisk), one of the largest construction groups in the UK and Ireland, has won the contract to construct a mixed use scheme including a 115 bedroom Travelodge and retail outlets in Lancaster.

Chris Dyer, Director North West Region, Sisk commented:
“Sisk has now completed a number of Travelodge builds across the UK, which demonstrates our capability as not just a national contractor but one that can deliver time and time again for the hotel industry.”

The building occupies a full footprint site, surrounded by major roads and shops. The façade will be clad in traditional Lancaster stone to blend in with the local surroundings.

Paul Harvey, Director, Travelodge is pleased with the choice of Sisk.
“We need consistent delivery to time, budget and quality on our sites. Sisk manages this whilst possessing in-depth knowledge and expertise for hotel construction and the market we operate in.”

The build will take a total of 56 weeks and construction is due for completion in November 2010.

Sisk is a major player in the hotel construction market and has an ongoing relationship with Travelodge as a preferred contractor and is currently building their new 278 bedroom hotel at Waterloo Road in London.

Over the past 5 years, Sisk has built in excess of 1,200 rooms for Travelodge and in excess of 5,000 hotel rooms in the UK.
